Moving more together!
Painting circus
The MALzirkus in Bad Neuenahr Ahrweiler and Schleiden supports children from the flood area with art therapy. Here they can work through their experiences and paint what they cannot express.
Animal-assisted therapy
We offer children the opportunity to deal with their fears and experiences through the animal and experiential education, to gain confidence and strengthen resilience.
Help animals
Because every life counts, we help large and small animals in need. Protecting nature and promoting sustainability is important to us in order to strengthen the future for everyone.
Our vision
We look after over 3000 traumatised children at 3 locations. The psychological distress is great. There is a lack of therapy places, especially for children and adolescents. Parents are often overwhelmed by the overall situation and are unable to help their children. We would like to offer a place of refuge on a farm in order to Strengthening children and their families, Training sustainability and a to promote inclusive, intergenerational coexistence.
